    Ep. 113 | What Real Community Looks Like in a Scroll-Everything World

    We have more access than any generation before us, and somehow women have never been lonelier. I've been sitting with that tension for a while now, and this episode is me saying it out loud. There's a difference between scrolling someone's life and actually being known by them. We've been quietly fooling ourselves into thinking passive connection counts, and it doesn't. Not fully. Not in the way your nervous system and your soul are actually craving. Real community isn't a highlight reel or a follower count. It's a room, physical or virtual, where you are fully seen, where there's a seat at the table for you exactly as you are, where people hold you accountable because they genuinely believe in what you're capable of. I've watched it change lives. I've had women tell me it saved theirs. In this episode, I share: The quiet way we've been confusing parasocial connection for real relationship, and why it matters more than you think What actually makes a community worth staying in, and the one ingredient most women are missing The story behind everything I've been building, and the moment I knew exactly what I was here to do If something in you has been craving more depth, more realness, more people who would notice if you were gone, this one's for you.

    Ep. 112 | Surviving Grief and Finding Your Way Back to Yourself with Jan Reed

    Some conversations stay with you long after the episode ends. This is one of them. Jan Reed is a transformational life coach, E4 spiritual psychology coach, and a coach within the Spiral Up program. She's also a retired teacher of over 30 years who has walked through some of the deepest loss imaginable and chosen, with full intention, to rise. In this episode, Jan shares her story with remarkable openness, and what she offers is not a tidy recovery arc but a real, honest look at what it means to grieve well. We talk about her husband Mickey, the night everything changed, and the unexpected ways he has continued to show up for her since. We also talk about grief as something that lives in the body, the difference between surviving loss and truly moving through it, and why the words "choose" and "decide" are some of the most powerful tools we have. What you'll hear in this episode: What Jan discovered about grief, her body, and the unexpected place where healing actually begins The identity shift that changed how Jan approached her loss, and why victim vs. victor is more than just a mindset reframe Why Jan believes joy and grief can exist at the same time, and what that duality actually looks like in real life This one is tender, real, and full of wisdom you'll want to return to. Meet Jan Reed Jan Reed is a Transformational Life Coach, E4™ Spiritual Psychology Coach, Coach for Spiral Up™, and a retired teacher of more than 30 years. After the devastating loss of her husband to suicide, Jan stepped into a profound healing journey that awakened her deeper purpose.

    Ep. 111 | The Identity You Inherited vs. the One That's Actually Yours

    You've been doing the work. Showing up for everyone, playing the roles, keeping it together. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, something started to feel off. Not broken, just... not quite you. This episode is about that feeling, and more importantly, what's actually underneath it. The truth is, you didn't lose yourself. The signal just got buried. Most of us absorbed an identity before we were old enough to choose one: the good girl, the responsible one, the peacekeeper, the one who makes herself smaller so everyone else stays comfortable. We got so good at performing that identity that we became it. And the version of you that is fully expressed, fully aligned, and fully alive? She's been there the whole time. In this episode, I share the framework I recently taught inside a coaching container on identity and intuition, and I'm bringing it here because it needs to reach more women. Here's what I cover: The difference between the identity you inherited and the identity you choose, and why stepping into who you really are is not an ego move but a homecoming How your intuition actually works as data, why your body is always telling you the truth, and how to start listening again The shift from princess energy to queen energy, and what it really means to stop asking for permission to take up the space you were made to take up This is the work. Not construction. Excavation.

    Ep. 110 | Part 2: Going Deeper on Peptides, Hormones, and What Your Doctor May Not Be Testing with Iva Heckmann

    Part 2 is here, and we went even deeper. After last month's episode lit up my DMs with questions, stories, and so much curiosity, I knew we had to bring Iva Heckmann back. This conversation picks up right where we left off and gets into the specifics that women are actually asking about, including retatrutide dosing, the Glow Stack blend, which hormones your panel should include but probably doesn't, and whether peptides can ever replace HRT (spoiler: they can't, and Iva is very clear about why). If you're in perimenopause, curious about GLPs, or just trying to make sense of all the noise online, this episode gives you something more useful than hype: real information so you can form your own opinion. Here's what we cover: Retatrutide, split dosing, and why the dose you're being given by your doctor may be higher than you actually need The Glow Stack breakdown: what BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu each do individually and why the blend controversy online is largely overblown The full hormone panel Iva recommends for women in perimenopause, including FSH, DHT, SHBG, prolactin, DHEA, and why most women have never had these tested If this episode opened something up for you, share it with a woman in your life who needs to hear it. And if you haven't listened to last month's episode yet, start there first. Meet Iva Heckmann My name is Iva Heckmann. I have occupied the wellness space for over two decades. My background is in sports medicine and nutrition. In my career, I’ve worked with a variety of people, I have taught thousands of classes at the trendiest studios, one on one training, rehabbed athletes, led nutritional workshops, was regularly featured on a TV wellness segment, and even owned ten fitness studios until two years ago. Wellness is my passion, it’s all I know and practice every day in my personal life. Helping people develop strong healthy habits to further thrive in their lives is what keeps me going. In the recent years, I’ve been fortunate to have been able to dive into the world of peptides and continue to challenge myself and learn more. http://www.holoshq.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/ivaheckmann Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IvaFileva Let’s Stay Connected 🩷 Join the Free Skool Community, the Shine House A home for intentional, evolving women ready to restore their rhythm and glow from the inside out. https://www.skool.com/theshinehouse 🎧 Subscribe + Review Love the show?

    Ep. 109 | One Hour a Day: The Method for Women Who Are Done With Rigid Routines

    Four years ago, I was living without a single hour to call my own. Not one. And I tried everything to fix it: the 4 AM alarm, the journal, the checklist. I tried until I felt resentful, then guilty, then exhausted by the loop. What I was missing wasn't discipline. It was permission to build something that was actually mine. That's where the Golden Hour method was born. It's not a routine you perform. It's a rhythm you build, one small joyful act at a time, layered into the life you're already living. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how it works and why it sticks when everything else hasn't. Here's what you'll take away: Why starting your day with one genuinely joyful act isn't indulgent - it's biology (and the dopamine science behind your morning coffee will surprise you) How habit stacking lets you weave new practices into rhythms you already have, so change feels like ease instead of effort What it looks like to spread your golden hour across the day instead of cramming it all in before sunrise Your rhythm gets to look completely different from mine. That isn't a flaw in this method. That is the method.

    Ep. 108 | Identity-Level Leadership and Permission to Want More with Maggie Amos

    There's a woman listening right now who knows she's meant for more. She can feel it. But every time she gets close to acting on it, something pulls her back. Fear of judgment. Guilt. The degree she worked so hard for. The path she was "supposed" to stay on. This episode is for her. Maggie Amos is a former teacher turned entrepreneur who retired early, helped build a million-dollar organization, and generated over $500K in personal income. But what she really teaches is conviction. In this conversation, Maggie and I talk about what it actually takes to stop collapsing under pressure, give yourself permission to want more, and step into identity-level leadership without waiting for anyone to choose you first. This is real talk, bold energy, and the kind of conversation that makes you want to close the tab and go build something. In this episode, Maggie and I cover: Why self-doubt and fear of judgment are the real reasons women stay stuck, and what it actually takes internally to give yourself permission to leave a path that no longer fits The "fact vs. feeling" framework Maggie uses to regulate her emotions in business, marriage, and parenting, and why it's the skill she wishes she'd learned sooner Why confidence is something you build, not something you're born with, and what the first step looks like for the woman who's ready to stop waiting You don't have to wait to be chosen. You don't have to stay on a path that no longer fits. And you don't have to do it alone. Meet Maggie Amos I am known for my no bull shit approach and I am the one who will say what most people will not to you, which is why my clients get the results most people don't. I am a business mentor who helps women become deeply convicted, confident, and authoritative in how they sell, lead, and show up. After building and leading a million-dollar high-ticket organization and generating over $500K in personal income, O became known for teaching women how to stop collapsing under pressure so their presence, messaging, and income finally align. My work focuses on identity-level leadership, emotional regulation in business, and conviction-driven selling helping women build authority from the inside out so cash becomes the byproduct through daily sales.

    Ep. 52 | What Justin Bieber's Coachella Comeback Teaches Us About Healing

    There are moments that catch you completely off guard and feel like they were meant to land exactly when they did. I live about a mile and a half from the Coachella grounds, and this year the energy throughout the entire valley was unlike anything I've felt before. Everywhere you went, people were saying the same thing: I cannot wait to see Justin. When he stepped on that massive stage with nothing but a laptop and a bar stool - no dancers, no elaborate set, no band - I felt something shift. And when he played "Baby" and I was instantly transported back to my little girl in pigtails saying "play it again, Mommy," I was completely undone. By weekend two, his confidence had transformed that same stripped-down stage into something massive. And when he invited Billie Eilish up for her full-circle fan moment, it became clear: this wasn't just a concert. It was a masterclass in what it looks like to come back to yourself. Here's what I want you to take from this episode: Simplicity can be more powerful than any production - showing up as you are, without the elaborate setup, is often the most impactful thing you can do You don't have to come back perfect to come back real - the version of you that shows up honestly matters more than the version you've been waiting to become Full circle moments are available to all of us - they often arrive in unexpected ways, in unexpected seasons If something in this episode stirred a memory, a feeling, or a moment of reflection, don't brush past it.

    Ep. 51 | Frequency Healing with Dr. LaChelle Wieme: How Energy Work Changed My Faith

    There are moments that change everything. Not gradually, not with warning, just a shift so complete that you look in the mirror and don't quite recognize the woman staring back. That's exactly what happened to me, and in this episode, I'm sitting down with the woman who helped make it possible. Dr. LaChelle Wieme is a former anesthesia professor, researcher, faith-driven coach, and my very first podcast guest, back when this show was brand new two years ago. She returns for what I can only describe as the conversation I didn't know I needed to have on air. LaChelle works with high-achieving women who know what they want but freeze when it's time to actually claim it. Her work sits at the intersection of quantum physics, brain science, and scripture, and once you hear her explain it, you'll never think about your thoughts, your feelings, or your faith the same way again. In this episode, LaChelle and I talk about: What frequency actually means in the body, broken down in the simplest, most grounded way Why raising your vibration isn't woo, it's science, and why the two aren't in conflict with faith How a single conversation on a cruise ship became a quantum leap that I'm still feeling weeks later The difference between fixing what's wrong with you versus stepping into the identity that's already waiting LaChelle's new Identity Recalibration sessions and what happened when I experienced one This one is personal, it's real, and it might be exactly what you've been waiting for permission to believe. Meet Dr. LaChelle Wieme Dr. LaChelle Wieme is a business strategist, transformational speaker, and host of The Spiral Up Podcast. She helps ambitious women create aligned income and impact through clarity, confidence, and consistent, God-led action. With over 15 years on stage and 6+ years in coaching and consulting, LaChelle blends strategic insight with spiritual alignment to empower high-achieving women to build businesses that feel as good as they look, without the burnout.
